Art, Science, or Business?

written by Yann Vernier

 
Whatever your idea is to achieve financial freedom, you will naturally tend toward actions in line with who you are.

Some of them are more likely to lead you to profits than others.

If you’re really serious about building a profitable business, you may want to  consistently remind yourself of your tendencies to unconsciously favor specific activites…

And carefully choose what you spend time working on.

-

Here’s a very clear way of putting it:

“Art is the beautiful way of doing things.

Science is the effective way of doing things.

Business is the economic way of doing things.

- Elbert Hubbard

-

For clarity, I would personally rephrase Hubbard’s last  sentence as “Business is the profitable way of doing things”.

Become aware of your natural inclinations…

Often, your brain is your ally only when you control it.

    Yann.

    Well said, it seems to make sense that we would gravitate to things we are comfortable with and shy away from the things we are not.

    Sort of suggests an incomplete puzzle, doesn’t it?

    Thanks

  4. Really like this quote. Clearly, if we are not profitable, we are not following good practices. Thanks for the reminder.

    Yan – Great quote by Hubbard. You’re right our brain is only our ally if we can reign in our natural inclinations.

    Yann,

    Great post. I loved the Elbert Hubbard quote, as well as the reminder that I need to keep my brain in gear and aimed toward the success I desire and the actions that will get me there.

    Yann,

    Spot on!

    Business is to generate profit as a primary objective, within ethical boundaries though.
